Comparing the feel of BMX grips and stock foam grips

[David N.]

Bug Chris Barnicki if you like foam but like the rubber and tell him to make the whip scooters grips... i'd start making them myself but i have no foam grips and no money for the method used to make them

my method is tug those mothers off the grip and flip um inside out !ill thats the face i make when i do it then ill be like !amazed and then somebody will be like those are dumb your dumb and then ill be like !mistrust.

BMX gets slippery when sweat is added
Foam obsorbs sweat when added and is forever stinky and smelly.

Hmm looks like Animal Edwin is good. DK Iron Cross is not good. My foam grips don't stink at all. Probably its because they are better foam or I wear gloves. My hands sweat alot.

What other grips are , thick , soft , nice to hold. I don't like hard ones as its uncomfy and if its too thin, the vibration on me hands is a killer.

Sorry to keep asking. lol.

 

[odysseus]

fly grips are the best ive had so far

 

[yakscoot125]

yeah them reubens are pretty hot, i think ill pick some up

 

[mtnbikfreak]

is there a certin size you should get for scooter bike grips?

 

[gorrilaman]

No. I think the size is all the same except for the length. Scooter bike grips has no meaning lol. It is bike grips used on scooters. Looks cool , feels good , for fun.

 

[mtnbikfreak]

alrigth lol and thansk for the correction

 

[Kano]

I personally perfer foam grips

 

[gorrilaman]

I like my foams more than my MTB grips but if BMX grips is not like MTB and even nicer than foam, I think I will give it a try.Its nice to have some proper grips.

I used to ride BMX grips (The old 15$ redlines without the dounut ends that you can find at just about any BMX shop) back before i quit, now that I'm back into scootering I need to pick some new ones up. Still stuck with foamy squishy "grips".

 

[Steezeman]

Animals-really soft, wear really fast.

Longnecks-not as soft as Animals, but they last longer.

Ruffians(lock jaw version)-pretty hard (really hard actually) don't wear that fast.

 

[gorrilaman]

Okay. Thanks Alex! Its damn hard to find Animals or Longnecks here =(.

i seem to land more barspins with bmx grips as to foam grips idk about anyone else

 

[dre]

I don't know, I use taped-over foam grips and they're holding up really, really well for me, and they're comfy, and easy to barspin, scooterflip, etc. with. I guess it just goes with personal preference though, so just try everything out and see what's best for you...
